Step-by-step explanation:
To connect a wireless controller to a Nintendo Switch without using a sync button, you can follow these steps:
- Ensure that your Nintendo Switch is on and that you are on the home screen.
- Go to the System Settings from the home screen by selecting the gear icon.
- In System Settings, scroll down and select Controllers and Sensors.
- Select Change Grip/Order, which allows the Switch to start searching for new controllers.
- On your wireless controller, activate its pairing mode. This is typically done by holding down a specific button combination. Check the controller's instruction manual for the exact method.
- The Switch should detect your controller and pair with it automatically.
If the controller doesn't connect, ensure it's charged and compatible with the Switch and then attempt the pairing process again.
